Hey, I'm Lauren, come on in and make yourself comfy. I'm the founder of this beautiful women's community for spiritual, conscious, purpose led women business owners who want to create a shift in the world, for the better.
THINGS WE LOVE IN AFFINITY
- Conscious re-connection with self. Because building a business from a place of disconnect is like building a home in sand. Conscious connection creates a deeply authentic and aligned vision and business.
- Talking about making lots of money. Because when we, the kind, loving empaths of the world are abundant - the world thrives. Let's normalise and remove any shame from this conversation!
- Open, judgement free conversation. Calling people 'in' to expand your own and their perspective, not calling people out or shaming.
- Focus on forward motion & growth. No gossiping, ranting, moaning or other lower frequency activities. Definitely share your experiences and emotions, but with a mind to gaining insight and moving through it.
- Expansion or evolution of any kind!
WHAT WE STAND FOR
- We believe in community and collaboration over competition
- We encourage diversity and inclusion plus, of course, curiosity and kindness over judgement
- Deeper connection through vulnerability, trust and genuine friendship
- Fun! Because we can do hard things but it's easier to get there when you inject a ton of humour.
We're always working towards creating a beautifully brave space where women can thrive by unlocking our deeper selves, our gifts and all the possibilities we have within us. I believe that this comes through vulnerability and developing deep self trust.
HOW WE EMPOWER YOU
- The Private Community — where we're creating a brave space in the online world where sharing and being vulnerable is encouraged, we're curating a different kind of culture where we're not competing but holding each others hands.
- Regular Training with Guest Experts — A day out of your business to work 'on your business' every quarter focusing on planning for the year ahead, marketing strategy, creating content and other relevant areas. Replays of workshops are available to all members.
- Accountability — We know that training without any follow up can be next to useless so as well as our regular training days which include accountability sessions in the afternoon, we also offer regular accountability co-working to keep you on track and feeling fully supported.
- A different kind of Online Networking — where we have 1:1 conversation about big things, silly things and everything in between. This face to face communication helps us find our people, deepen our relationships and build a thriving business that's supported at every step.
- Affinity Socials — these are designed to help us connect on a more playful level, we sometimes talk about business but we often talk about emotions, struggles and more often than not any old silly thing that happens to come up. It's all about friendship.
- Special Events — photoshoots and in person workshops to celebrate ourselves and feel even more connected to others and to self. You'll see some images above from my empowerment shoot (oh, I'm also a photographer) for women who have experienced trauma where they shared their stories and their scars. It was deeply touching and incredibly powerful.
A FEW WORDS FROM OUR MEMBERS...
WHY A 'WOMEN ONLY' GROUP?
We're not at all anti-men at Affinity but there's a different dynamic in a mixed gender space, there's more caution and fear of judgement (whether it's the reality or not).
I found that we're able to talk more openly about all manner of things (and bare all) when we are surrounded by our female peers and the energy in the room is different (not better or worse, just different). It's more conducive to vulnerable conversation.
I believe we're more able to find our voice when surrounded by like hearted women and that's what we're all about here; helping you to find your unique voice, to deliver your message and to create the positive ripple effect of change in the world. And to do it all, together.
Magic happens when powerful individuals, who share the same vision, join forces.
